The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

With his eyes closed, Yun Shang took off Yu Wan's clothes, but then stopped again.

If he opens his eyes, Yu Wan's entire body will be laid bare before him.

But if he closes his eyes and can't see, he's more likely to touch places he shouldn't.

Yun Shang hesitated for only a moment before opening his eyes.

His dark eyes held a deep, unfathomable depth.

He overthinks things.

He and Yu Wan were husband and wife, so they were open with each other. Moreover, they were in a dangerous situation, and her safety was obviously more important than his innocence.

This was Yun Shang's first time doing this kind of work.

At first, when he touched the girl's smooth and hot skin, his heart would tremble, and he almost dropped the cotton cloth in his hand. Later, he was able to wipe her gently and carefully again and again with great patience.

After wiping repeatedly for almost half an hour, there was movement at the door.

Zhou Shi'an: "Brother Yun, I've brought Doctor Feng with me—"

Zhou Shi'an's voice came from afar. Yun Shang helped Yu Wan get dressed before opening the door.

Old Man Feng looked stern and went straight into the house without speaking to Yun Shang.

He first glanced at Yu Wan's complexion, then took her pulse, and the stern look on his face slowly faded.

He put down Yu Wan's hand and immediately turned to write a prescription. "She has been poisoned by a kind of 'soft bone powder,' which is a poison extracted from blood gardenia. This poison can paralyze a person's meridians, making them weak and unable to move."

The others in the room listened in silence. Yun Shang's gaze remained fixed on Yu Wan's pale face. Only after Old Man Feng finished speaking did he ask in a calm voice:

Is this poison common?

Old Feng glanced at him, seemingly wondering why he would ask such a silly question.

"Ten years ago, when the Emperor of Dazhao was still concerned about the country, he issued a decree that killed a large number of sorcerers who knew how to make poisons and destroyed most of the poisons. Only a small portion remained, and now most of them are in the hands of powerful families."

"Ordinary people would never encounter this kind of poison."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shi'an murmured, "So, the person who poisoned Miss Yu must be either rich or powerful..."

A dark glint flashed in Yun Shang's dark eyes.

Old Feng muttered to himself, "Although I can cure this poison, the detoxification process will be very painful for Wan'er."

He looked up and glared at Yun Shang, his displeasure undisguised. "Wan'er has suffered a great deal this time. I wonder who dragged her into this mess."

These words clearly had a hidden meaning, and Zhou Shi'an glanced at Yun Shang cautiously.

The latter had a cold expression and dark eyes, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Shi'an couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The prescription given by Master Feng consists of two doses, one for internal use and one for bathing.

After reading the prescription he wrote, the old doctor of Min'an Hall was so excited that he exclaimed "Wonderful!" and pulled Old Feng aside to talk all night.

The prescription for internal use was given to the young apprentice at Min'an Hall to prepare the medicine, while the prescription for the medicinal bath was given to Yun Shang.

He was determined to mess with Yunshang.

"The herbs for this medicinal bath are very easy to prepare. Just mix all the herbs together, rinse them three times, then add one-third of boiling water and soak for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add warm water to adjust the temperature to your liking."

Zhou Shi'an stopped him, saying, "Doctor Feng, Brother Yun has classes tomorrow, so there's no need for him to do this personally."

Old Man Feng didn't even glance at the two of them, and sneered, "Wan girl almost lost her life."

“Wan Yatou has only been to the county town a few times, and given her personality, who could she possibly have an enemy with? After thinking it over, I’ve concluded that Wan Yatou’s suffering must be related to someone.”

Zhou Shi'an frowned and spoke up to defend Yun Shang, "Doctor Feng, Brother Yun has never offended anyone, so how could he have implicated Miss Yu?"

As he picked up the medicine, Old Man Feng rolled his eyes at Zhou Shi'an without any politeness.

He ignored the two of them.

Zhou Shi'an had never been treated like this before. He looked at Yun Shang angrily and said, "Brother Yun, are you just going to let him slander you like this?!"

"Thank you for today," Yun Shang said. "You should go back soon; I'll stay here."

"If I am not back by the time of school tomorrow morning, please ask the teacher for leave on my behalf."

Zhou Shi'an wanted to say something, but when he met Yun Shang's cold gaze, he swallowed his words.

He sighed and had no choice but to leave.

After he left, the people in the room gradually went to rest. Old Master Feng watched as Yu Wan finished drinking her medicine, and then took her pulse again. He was relieved to see that her pulse had stabilized and her high fever was showing signs of subsiding.

Elder Feng dislikes Yun Shang very much now and speaks to him with a cold tone, "Someone needs to stay with Wan'er tonight."

"After you finish her medicinal bath, don't leave. Stay by her bedside and watch over her. If anything unexpected happens, contact me immediately."

Yun Shang gave a faint "hmm".

Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Elder Feng was even more displeased. As he passed by Yun Shang, he gave him a cold snort.

"I don't know what Wan girl sees in you. To get me to agree to treat your illness, she never complained no matter how difficult I made things for her."

For some reason, Elder Feng disliked Yun Shang's aloof nature.

She didn't really want to treat his illness.

But as a doctor with a compassionate heart, he couldn't just stand by and watch someone get hurt.

Later, when Yu Wan came to him, Old Master Feng didn't want to agree so easily and deliberately made things difficult for her.

Unexpectedly, that girl was so sincere and persistent, and she completed all the tasks assigned to her.

Because of this, he took a special liking to Yu Wan.

He might complain about her, but he secretly adores her.

Seeing her suffer because of Yunshang, how could I feel happy?

Yun Shang's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened, as if something had stabbed him in the heart.

Did Yu Wan really do a lot of things to persuade Elder Feng to treat her illness?

Old Feng muttered to himself and left, leaving Yun Shang alone.

Yun Shang stood there for a long time.

The room was brightly lit, and Yu Wan's face was as pale as paper. Looking at her lifeless appearance, Yun Shang couldn't quite describe his feelings.

He couldn't help but wonder, was it really because his prejudice against Yu Wan was too deep?

After watching Yu Wan finish her medicinal bath, Yun Shang closed his eyes and helped her change her wet clothes.

Originally thinking she could rest for a while, Yu Wan was sweating profusely after only fifteen minutes.

Master Feng had previously stated that sweating was proof that the medicine was working.

Yun Shang sat on the edge of the bed and gently wiped the sweat off Yu Wan's body with a dry cotton cloth.

He was patient and attentive, his slightly lowered face carrying a tenderness he himself was unaware of.

……

It was both cold and hot; my whole body felt as if it were frozen in an ice cellar or being roasted by fire.

Even before she died in her previous life, she had never suffered this much.

Her body and consciousness seemed to be imprisoned in an invisible prison; there was nothing in her world except for the unbearable pain.

In this world, she has nothing but illness.

Now that she's transmigrated into the book, she's still all alone and has nothing.

Despair began to grow in her heart, and at one point she thought about just giving up.

Death brings liberation.

But at some point, a glimmer of light appeared amidst the endless suffering.

It seemed as if someone was easing her pain, whispering something in her ear.

She doesn't seem to be alone anymore.
